Bush opposes freight tube plan as costly to operate
Irving T. Bush of Bush Terminal Company argues the Wilgus freight subway plan would raise moving costs and fail to meet New York’s needs. He notes current costs for pier to rail freight average three cents per hundred pounds, with loading, unloading, and other charges totaling about one and a half cents, and cautions that a tubed system would threaten port competitiveness. He favors bulk terminal expansion in Brooklyn, New Jersey, and Staten Island over a costly underground route.
